Hi there guys, some of you know that I just "finished" my conversion, and bought 15 shotgun clips.... I've cut the top and created a V shape in the back on all 15 thinking that it will work fine..... But.....it just shoots one BB and I have to touch it again to make it feed more!! Help me!!!!! I'm very sad about this Oh.....and to take the mag out I have to release the Trigger Guard Assembly, they stick there :/ Heres the pictures of what I did and my magwell

You need to attach the tab in the front and shape it so it aligns properly in your mag well. Also it help to paste on thin sidewalls so they fit snug (side to side) in the mag well. It also may be that your rear notch is slightly off and with a file can be easily adapted to work better.

Hi again 2ndBat my savior! lol
I see that I need that front ABS thing like you did, that's gonna be my work tomorrow but..... I don't understand is the "rear notch" part you say "file can be easily adapted to work better" I don't understand... is the rear part wrong? Do I need to make it deeper?! don't understand
Also my rifle is a Tokyo Marui, I don't get it the mag gets stuck inside it I have to take the Trigger Guard Assembly to take a mag out!

Hi there guys! Well I've tried everything with no sucess until.................................. I've noticed that my MAGWELL (I have a Tokyo Marui) is diferent from the cyma one that you are all used to.. as you can see from the first picture the part where the BB enters has 2 lines on the sides, that's what keeps the shotgun mag from feeding well.....so I've cuted the mag just like that so be able to insert it full and now works like a charm! I just need to make them fit the mag very tightly and I can fire 13/14 rounds very well

There are subtle differences with each of the clones and hence each needs it's own unique tweaking although all the Marui clones are very close to one another. It can be very annoying. The challenges your are experiencing with the clips are also experienced with the assorted M14 mags. A little filing is all it takes for a mag that doesn't work to suddenly be fine.
Glad you got it sorted out. One of my customers said he glued into the top of the mag well a thin strip of foam that held the clip in snug BUT when the mag release was triggered the clips would "Pop" out which facilitated reloads. Sounds promising but not something I have tried as yet.

I've filed out the mag catch slots to match the profile of the rifles mag catch more closely on my shotgun mags rather than having the simple notch on the mags that came with my S&S M1 conversion. As my wife has actually managed to fill the memory card on my camera and also mislay the Fuji specific USB cable to boot I'll have to post some pictures later!
Hey that's not bad going! I've been a forum member since May 2007 and this is my first post! I'm a professional lurker!
